Y'all, I know two hours is a big time commitment, but this panel I arranged and hosted last month is one of the most important things I've ever done for video game history. The launch of the NES is a crazier story than most people realize, and my guests were extremely generous with their memories.
Hear about the NES US launch 40 years ago from the people that made it happen: Gail Tilden, Bruce Lowry and Lance Barr with @frankcifaldi.bsky.social from the @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social moderating! Panel recording at youtu.be/f2WDfsiLiRA

So this is just legitimate ragebait. The context was specifically about expanding the Nintendo IPs and the Nintendo Museum where they can see and use old hardware. Here's the question and answer

Y’all have GOT to stop uncritically sharing Stealth’s posts without checking your sources!
I can’t find a source for when and where Miyamoto supposedly said this or who translated it ANYWHERE and yet my timeline is flooded with takes on it.

I was right! He was talking about keeping IP in circulation using movies to keep the IP alive as hardware ages and older games get overshadowed by newer releases.

This one line quote from this one article is going to be argued about and taken out of context a lot without more explanation.
It reminds me of the talk about a "mature" Mario for Sunshine when he was really talking about going back to Mario being for everyone like in the Donkey Kong days.
